Effects of the Dive Response on Heart Rate and Pulse Amplitude
In the space below, insert a bar graph showing the heart rate and pulse amplitude during rest, 15 seconds into the dive, just before the end of the dive, and 30 seconds after the end of the dive.

Effects of Breath-holding on Heart Rate and Pulse Amplitude
In the space below, insert a bar graph showing the heart rate and pulse amplitude during rest, 15 seconds into the breath-hold, just before the end of the breath-hold, and 30 seconds after the end of the breath-hold.

Changes in Peripheral Circulation
In the space below, insert a bar graph showing the change in peripheral circulation during rest, during the dive, and during the breath-hold.

Conclusions
Answer the following questions in complete sentences.

1. Did the amplitude of your pulse beat change during a dive and/or during a breath-hold?

During the dive the amplitude increased from .0166 to .02312 at 15 seconds into dive suggesting an increase in stroke volume due to decreased heart rate. At the end of the dive the amplitude decreased to .015 and increased after the dive to .054. During the breath holding the amplitude increased at the highest heart rate at rest had the lowest amplitude. While the heart rate decreased over the breath hold the amplitude increased slightly.

2. Did your

    In this experiment, several physiological parameters were observed in three patients before, during, and after moderate exercise. One of these parameters was the pulmonary airflow, which was recorded utilizing an Airflow Transducer. This device measures airflow using slight pressure differences created by the resistance of a screen inside the device. Pulmonary airflow is the rate of movement into and out of the lungs, and is directly proportional to the pressure difference of the intrapulmonary pressure and the atmospheric pressure, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the lungs (elasticity/diameter of air pathways).1 The BIOPAC program then can convert the airflow to volume of air moved. Pulmonary ventilation is the movement of air in and out of the lungs. A more specific measurement of pulmonary airflow is the minute respiratory volume, which measures how much air is moved into and out of the lungs in one minute (tidal volume*breaths per minute).2 Since both deal with a volume moved per time, they are synonymous, although the parameter is referred to as airflow in this report.15E…

    Inspiratory reserve volume decreased due to the rapid increase in breath rate. Normal resting breath rate is at an average 11.6 breaths per minute increased to 27 breaths per minute after exercise. The increase in BR causes inspiration length to go below its normal 2 second interval. Therefore decreasing IRV by .6 Liters.…

    1.) If the peripheral blood vessels were constricted without making any other further adjustments in the cardiovascular system then the blood vessels could potentially burst due to the built up pressure and no further decrease in heart rate. The vessels would be smaller due to the constriction but the heart would continue to pump the blood with the same or greater force. The dive response prevents this from happening because it lowers the heart rate so that a lesser quantity of blood is pumped out through the constricted arteries.…

    The main aim of the practical was to assess, what affects did light exercise have on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart and respiration rate, tidal volume, minute volume and percentage of gas. The readings were taken before exercise, during exercise and after exercise. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of pressure exerted on the vessels walls, during blood flow. Blood pressure can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The upper value indicates the systolic pressure; this is the highest level of pressure obtained. This is usually 120mm Hg in healthy adult. The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure achieved before the aortic valves reopen, which is usually between 70- 80mm (Barbara, J.C. 2005). The heart rate is the number of beats that is pumped by the heart per minute. It’s measured by taking the pulse rate. Respiratory rate is the number of breath exhaled and inhaled in a single breath. Respiratory rate can be measured simply by observing the person’s chest and stomach rise and fall. It is usually measured in breath per minute. Tidal volume is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath. In an average human, the tidal volume is about 0.5litres, while the lungs can hold up to ten times more than this. Minute volume, is the amount of air or fluid moved per minute.…
